Day 4...The Journey Continues

Sunday was day 4 of the 11 day mission trip to Romania for the Another Child Foundation mission team. The day started with the team helping Fundatia Buckner with a bike rally in promoting safety for all types of road vehicles. Fundatia Buckner is partnering with Heineken in this 4 week project. The team enjoyed helping the 300 bicyclist pedal through the city of Targu-Mures. The team handed out t-shirts, water, and brochures. The team then enjoyed a great lunch at the Tempo restaurant. This is a restaurant that Dennis Huston and I have looked forward to since last years trip. They specialize in a great bean soup served in a large bread bowl similar to Panera but much better.

The team finally made it to the Buckner Group Home in the late afternoon to enjoy time with the 5 young ladies at the home. The team did a very nice craft project with the girls followed by the girls preparing a delicious meal for everyone. As always the girls did a great job of serving us. It is obvious that the staff is doing a great job preparing these girls for life after the group home.

On Monday the team will start the day buying the materials needed to complete the work projects at the Point of Hope. The team will go to BauMax which is a superstore like an American Lowe's or Menards. The team will then meet up with the thirty 4 and 5 year olds from the Point of Hope at the local airport for a tour. This is very exciting for the children who have hardly ever left their neighborhoods. After the tour of the airport the team and kids will enjoy a sack lunch and games. The team will end their day at the Point of Hope Center doing some painting of a classroom. Everyone seems to be doing well and are looking forward to the rest of the week. Below are some pictures from the previous days activities.

Beautiful Romania!
